Chima Anya - Death


Recognise some of the biography below? Maybe because you read it on our Live Vibe April page where Chima will be a guest performer at Live Vibe this Saturday 17 April. Read about his guest performance here. >>

25 year old (Dr) Chima Anya has seen a lot. An avid hip-hop fan since birth he has watched how it has evolved and devolved over the years while simultaneously perfecting his own grasp of the art. This experience multiplied by the wealth of life stories witnessed by working as a junior doctor in fields ranging from geriatric to paediatric medicine has culminated in an artist of intrigue.

As a hip-hop MC his credentials are stellar - having already shared stages with hip hop legends KRS 1, Amp Fiddler, Flava Flav and recently opened up for Jay Electronica and Brother Ali. His music has also received support from Mary Anne Hobbes (Radio 1) "A Dope ass MC," Huw Stephen's (Radio 1) "I'm sure we will be playing more of this man" Ras Kwame (1Xtra) "Futuristic hip hop- we are looking for the doctor to come and save hip-hop," DJ 279 (Choice FM) "Hope yet for UK hiphop," Shortee Blitz (Kiss FM), Excalibah, Ace and Vis (1Xtra), The Temporary Residents and many more radio stations worldwide.

This, his debut album, "NEW DAY" reflects the change that is needed to effect some balance in the uk hiphop scene. Entirely produced by ASTROSNARE, the two hooked up having ascended to the top of the hiphop scene in Oxford making it a natural alliance. The first double AA side single saw CHIMA enlisting some fellow UK hiphop Luminaries SOWETO KINCH and JEHST in joining his campaign to bring some element of swagger, style and substance back in the scene.

CHIMA recently supported JAY ELECTRONICA when he hit the UK a performance that was only outshone by the man himself! CHIMA will also be supporting BROTHER ALI on his one off date @ London’s CARGO on the 17th March.
